"Full of sensory details, vivid characters, and moment after moment of gorgeously rendered ordinary life, this audiobook is a queer must-listen."—AudioFile

This program is masterfully narrated by award-winning "Golden Voice" narrator Julia Whelan.

Yerba Buena is the debut adult novel by the bestselling and award-winning YA author Nina LaCour, following two women on a star-crossed journey toward each other.

“A love story for our time.”—Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Romantics

"This book is a precious thing."—Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop

When Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, she leaves behind the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and embarks on an affair with the married owner.

The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, pulls them apart again and again. When Sara's old life catches up to her, upending everything she thought she wanted just as Emilie has finally gained her own sense of purpose, they must decide if their love is more powerful than their pasts.

At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a love story for our time and a propulsive journey through the lives of two women trying to find somewhere, or someone, to call home.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Julia Whelan's quiet, graceful narration is the perfect match for Nina LaCour's flowing prose in this stunning, layered story about two queer women who are slowly finding their way to each other--and themselves.... Whelan's light touch highlights its emotional complexity without drawing attention from LaCour's immersive prose. Full of sensory details, vivid characters, and moment after moment of gorgeously rendered ordinary life, this audiobook is a queer must-listen." (AudioFile)

On the whole, I thought this was a very unique and very good story. There’s a through-line with how yerba buena (the herb, then a restaurant, then a cocktail, and then a plant again) ties the two main characters together, which was very creative. I’m surprised this is classified as YA, given the extremely dark beginning, sexual exploitation of children, drugs, abuse, prison, etc. Neither the romantic arch nor the main characters’ growth arches felt anywhere near complete, but I definitely would read a sequel.

A good listen, but the story felt abruptly cut off

I purchased this book randomly without knowing anything about the author or a synopsis. I am glad I did. It is a beautifully written story that captures well our journies theouhh life, love, and even grief. Also loved how central plants were in the aspect of healing. I definitely recommend.

This was a blind listen

This book was great, with incredibly descriptive writing but a slow-moving plot. I enjoyed it overall.

A slow burn

The stories of these two women and the people in their lives had me captured since the first chapter. Following along as their stories unfolded was a privilege. All of our lives are complicated. We come into each other’s lives shaped by our experiences. This book is a beautiful representation of that reality. I loved this book and am so sorry that it had to end.

Loved this book immediately- hated that it had to end.

This story checked all my boxes for emotional, highly visual and a wee bit funny story. The reader was magnificently into the moods of each chunk of marvelous description, leading the listener masterfully through the story. A fine experience!

A sweet tragic but successful story!
